OXFORD ; JA&, it. PlO,ltE Ceisria, 'bee. afiee-You may expe& me to say - Pornething of politics ; but the truth is, that it is difficult, in such a shifting scene as Spain displays, to point out env thing which the events of the next day may not contradict ; and with the wide field which is extended where politics begin to be' a topic 9f correspondence, it is difficult to fix on any ob e Jed which will appear equally interesting to the reader and the writer. There is, in the national . charader of Spain, one trait, which 'is equally to be found in all classes of society ; originating, I sus- Pet, in the indolence which a fine cliniate and luxurious soil produce : this trait is the want of combination, the absence of arrangement. The Spaniards are brave, acute, patient, and faithful ; but all their charaeteristics are insulated ; all their exertions are individual; they have no idea of com bining together in private, or in public, in such a way as that the separate talents of different persons Tay be all usefully employed, all differently em ployed, all employed conformably to their different Capacities, and yet all be so occupied as that the con centration of their several exertions may tend to the tame end. The Germans rnsy be said to combine too much, and the Spaniards not at all. In my Judgment, the English have attained the proper me dium, but certainly, from the Government to the peasantry all the Spaniards are alike deficient on this point, and to this deficiency their reverses may all be ascribed. If a commander embarks on an . expedi tion, as that to Algiers a few years ago, it is not im probable that the powder would be embarked in one ship and the ball in another, and one being lest, the other would be useless : nor would it be unlikely in their army, that they should deliver to the soldiers ball-cartridges for 'a review, and blank cartridges for a battle ; for I have seen errors as egregious com mitted, though not that precise one. Now 'lathing is more certain,- than that the whole Spanish nation is roused to madness against France; not a man is lo be found who would not willingly and joyfully Plunge a dagger into the breast of a Frenchman Wheuever he met one • but there is no Government, that is, no ruling mind, to concentrate this univer sal feeling ; whatever is done by Spaniards is indivi dual effort, not combined exertion ; and hence,w ben ever they have attempted military operations on a great scale, they have been uniformly unsuccess- f' TO THE INHABITANTS OF GALLICIA, ful : they have only chosen the wrong means of .

We stop the Press to announce the following in;. telligence, which fully confirms all our previous statements respecting the important subject to which HALF-PAST TWO O'CLOCK. By a Gentleman who has just arrived from the I North of Spain, after the short voyage of rive days, we-have been favoured with the following import- I ant information on the proceedings in the North- ; eastern extremity of the country. The Conde de Norona, whosd energy and pa trintistn we hare often mentioned, has been super seded in the command of the Kingdom of Gallicia, by an officer named De Castro, from Seville, who .1 has been appointed Captain-GencrA b y the Central Junta. It is understood that the Conde de Norona has been removed by his own desire, and he has 1 since been nominwed to undertake an active duty in the army of the leit, under .the orders of the Duke del Porcine. Shortly before he quitted his station, he issued a Proclamation, in which he ex pressed himself in the following terms :----' The Dublin Evening Post, of Thursday last, states, that the Catholic Laity of England have re solved, in opposition to their Clergy, to make an offer- of the Veto to his Majesty ; but that the Edi tor, " on the contrary, has reason to believe, and sufficient authority to state, that the Catholics of Ireland would rather see all the Penal La ws re-enztat ed, than procure emancipations at such a price."— He adds, that " A general Meeting of Roman Ca tholics, to consider this subjeel, N't ;7 - s to be held iii Dublin on Monday, when it was thought an addi tion to their Petition, and a strong remonstrance, would be adopted." " On the subject of thcs. Veto (says the same Paper), there was on Wednesday a Meeting, in Francis-street Chapel, of the „Catholic Clergy and ParAioners of that Parish ; when they resolved to write to Mr. GRATTAN, and to convene another meeting for Friday ; and a requisition was signed, calling on all the Catholic Clergy of Dublin to meet on Tuesday." The same Paper also states, that an English Ba ronet, a Member of the House of Commons, has prepared a Bill, waking it imperative on the• lb man Catholic Bishops, whenever a vacancy occurs, to return to the Office of the Sedetary of State a list of candidates, from which 2ny oljeetionable per son is to be struck out, and the vacancy to be filled by one of the approved candidate's. Private letters state, that Buonaparte has become in the greatest degree peevish and irascible. A short time since, Mart, his Secretary of State, on some trifling occasion gave him offence, when he struck and repeatedly kicked him, overturned the table by which he stood, and scattered his papers about the room. It is said at Paris, that the destined bride of Napoleon was no other than the widowed Ex- Queen of Etruria, a Bourbon, and sister to Ferdinand the With. • An alarming fire broke out\ on Saturday night, at a house called the Grotto, near Stoke, Bucks, which was inhabited •by Mr. Pynn, a clergyman, and his family. The fire was occasioned by a servant maid setting fire to the bed furniture whilst putting a child to bed. Such was the rapidity of the flames, that the family had great difficulty in escaping, and the house was burnt to the groun'd in less than half an hour. Two ricks aud,a torn vver4 also•dwroyeki. FALLS FROM THE MoNumENT.—Three instances of this kind have happened in the last 60 years. June 25, 1750, about four o'clock in the after noon, a man, supposed to be a weaver fell from the top ; he struck the pedestal, and pitched on a post which laid open his scull, and he was otherwise most terribly shattered. Second, 1788, July 7, Thomas Craddock, a baker threw himself over the north side • he cleared the 'pedestal and the iron rails, but fell just outside of them, near to the N. \V. corner. Third, 1 s to, 'Jan. tB, Lyon Levy, a Jew, fell from the gallery, on the east side ; he struck the pedestal, but cleared the rails, and fell one yard out side, near to the S.E; corner. The fall from the top of the gallery inclosure to the ground, is about 175 feet. The extreme height of the Monument is 202 feet. The gallery is 32 , feet below the top of the vase; it leaves 170 feet for the height of the floor of the gal lery, to which add five feet for the height of its in 'closure, it makes 1 76 feet fall. On Thursday night, about eight o'clock, Mr. 1 Thomas Pratt, fariner and corn-dealer, of Shipton, was stopped between Newbold and Treddington, on his return home from Stratford, by a footpad, who rushed from the road-side and knocked him off his horse, by striking him several times with a hedge stake, or heavy bludgeon. The villain then knelt upon Mr. Pratt's breait, arid totik trorn him a pocket • book, containing Stratford bank-hills to the amount of 901. Mr. Pratt was found lying upon the ground about a quarter of an hour afterwards, very much cut and bruised about the head, two of his doubh:. , teeth having been knocked out by the blows. The robber was a stout lusty man. A few days since three valuable horses were stoien out ut the tields belonging to Mr. Dailet,_at Lower Merton, in Surrey. sconAA7r): COURT OF SESSION-FIRST DIVISiOif.i GAME CASE. EARL OF HOPETOIIS V. N4'iGliT. The game laws are held to interest so large aria respectable a part of the community, that we ititaz , gine it will be accept able to our Readers to receive some account of the following Case, decided by the Judges of the first Chamber of the Court of St:.ssion on Tuesday last. _ _ . . Mr. Wight, farmer at Ormiston, the property of the Earl of Hopetoun, situated in the county of atddington, having been in the practice of shoot ing game on his farm, without the permission of hi 3 landlord, was prosecuted by the Earl and the Pro curator-fiscal of the county, in an action before the Sheriff, concluding that the Defender should bd found liable In the penalty prescribed by the Act 1621. c. 31. against such persons as hunt or hawk without being possessed of " plough of land in heritage." The Sheriff, in respect that the De!eg. der had been guilty of A contravention of the sta- L tute, found him liable in the penalties thereof and In expenses. This judgment having been broue , .,lit before the Supreme Court, by advocation, was affirmed by Lord Armadale; as Ordinary. When the Lord Ordinary's interlocutor Was brought under the consideration of the other Judges, it was pleaded for Mr. Wight-Ist, that the Ace of 1621 is now obsolete, and that it never was in tended to apply to shooting ; and, 2diy, that, if it should so apply, he was a qualified person ; as hold ing a perpetual lease of his farm: He maintained; that as his lease was renewable from 1 9 to 19 years, for ever, it was the same as the absolute property, and there was no difference betwixt such a lease and a- feu ; and as the latter undoubtedly affords a qualification to kill game, the former should also have the same effe&. (Jo the part of the Earl it was answered, that the first point had been laid at rest by the decisioti of the Second Chamber, in the case of Trotter against.M`Ewan, (July 2, 1809,) where it was fotiod that the A& of 1621 was still a subsisting statute, and that, under the term hunting, this Att understood to comprehend shooting. As to the se cond point, it was contended, that, according to the Defender's own admission, he was merely a tenant, and as no two words have more distinct meanings than heritor and tenant, it was evidently contrary both to the common understanding of the country ; and to the spirit and terms of the statute, that the Defender should describe his lease as heri•age to the etre& of affording him a qualiateStion to 1(11 game ; and the duration of the defender's lease, could make no difference on the case ; however long'the lease, he was only a. tenant, and hi; right could only extend to the fruits of the ground. lie could not prevent the landlord from claiming any mines or minerals which might be discovered oti the farm ; and, as the latter was entitled to vote as a freeholder and commissioner of supply, in respea I of the property, he alone was the heritor in thecyt 1 of the law. The right. of a feuer, - on the contrary, is a feudal right of property, and entitles hit. not only to thelruits, but to the substance of the sod.• The Court unanimously adhered to the .interlo cutor of the Lord Ordinary. , It is thus settled, that no tenant, whatever may be the endurance of his lease, is entitled to be, con sidered as a qualified person, so as to shoot g<ime even on his own farm, without the permission of his landlord.
